  1. Whoa. Is different

    1. Futuza

      Futuza

      Somehow it motivates me to do more modding.

  2. Is there anyone with rend2 installed that would like to test a map for me today before i submit it tomorrow?

  3. @staff God you guys still havent done that? Anyways, where is the getting started thread? Maybe in the tutorial section, you should pin a topic like "Getting started" which goes over the structure of the game, the rules of the game (i.e. vert limits etc), what shader syntax it uses, how pk3's are compiled, etc. Just a real lubed up entry for the uninitiated.

      Yeah I mean... Circa was one of the ones I asked to get @staff working so sure, lets get him on the case. XD Is there no order here?!

      Group mentions can be done but are a paid plugin for the forum software. If you want to donate to it, Chalk, I will get it and install it. ? The new account message idea isn't bad, I'll have to look into that.

      I do hope to have a front page overhaul that focuses less on news posts and more on stuff like that, but I'm not sure when that'll happen.

      @Circa We have the plugin over at JoF. Can't we just hand it over to you somehow? (or is that illegal, lol?)

  4. Are bone root and effector nulls a Softimage proprietary thing, or do other engines use this technique as well?

      Minilogoguy18 answered this for me already. Thank you!

  5. I've blown another PSU. This one shot a white spark out the back of my tower. It was epic. Being my fourth PSU, any thoughts on what's causing it?

      1060 with 650W here, no problems

    3. McGroose

      McGroose

      A 650 meets well over the need for a 1060, I think the recommended is 450. I've seen 400 work with it though

      Sounds to me like you're getting those parts from yard sales, if you're already at 5th PSU ...

      Find some quality stuff next xD

  6. My pc crashed for a little bit while i was working on an animation and i was reminded of an ultron quote. "the purity of it... boom.. start over:

      Or go into the SI settings and setup the auto backup feature but I think it's on by default so you might wanna look.

  7. Let's start submitting backgrounds for the site again

    1. the_raven
    2. Daedra

      Daedra

      I'd gladly re-submit my old ones.

  8. The site's looking nice =)

    1. the_raven

      the_raven

      What do you mean? Did they sneak onto the new version when i wasn't looking? O_o

    2. ChalklYne

      ChalklYne

      Not that I'm aware of. I was exploring under the influence and just thought it looked nice. They should go back to letting us submit backgrounds every month or so though.

    3. the_raven

      the_raven

      Good point, that last one.

  9. If the mod is not released... chances are it is beyond our scope. We are not with-holding dire tricks to JKA. (besides me in the case of the force repulse) lol so try to do it yourself and THEN ask questions. Theres hundreds if not thousands of requests but not many people take it into their own hands to release it, which is in reality what it takes to get your mod released.

      I was so amazed by your Hutt model's animations, that it inspired me to start rigging and animating stuff like the Shyrack model from KOTOR I.

    3. ChalklYne

      ChalklYne

      awesome man. what program are you animating in?

    4. Noodle

      Noodle

      Blender, started using it for non-animation relatedstuff and after a while I got used to it. Seems to work quite well too!

  10. My brain hurts so im watching animaniacs. never underestimate the power of yakko wakko nor dot

    1. the_raven

      the_raven

      Used to watch it quite a lot as a kid, but now i watch it and the humor is mostly stupid and forced. Nothing really beats the classic Looney Tunes.

  11. Currently modeling on Softimage 4.2

  12. So custom rig.. bolt_r_hand is weighed to a rhang_tag_bone and all heriarchy us identical to jkas naming wise. Saber blade wont show up

      Is the final name for 'bolt_r_hand' '*r_hand'?

    3. DT85

      DT85

      Using 'bolt_' only works for running things through carcass

    4. ChalklYne

      ChalklYne

      Yeah it was the _humanoid thing. Weirdest thing. Thanks Ashura

  13. I need 2 more Chalklynes... one for uv unwrapping one for texturing.

      Nah, that should be locked behind mod completion, so that you work three or four times as hard :P

  14. Zbrush is creating disgusting seams along my uv cuts. After searching it seems like a common problem. Anyone concur?

      No idea - I don't export normals from Zbrush. I use either Substance Painter's built-in baker or xNormal

    3. Psyk0Sith

      Psyk0Sith

      Difficult to tell without seeing the assets but i would not use Zbrush for baking. Xnormal would be a better choice. However you could bake a world object space map in Zbrush and convert it to tangent with handplane, it might get rid of the problem. Start a thread if you need more in-depth help.

    4. ChalklYne

      ChalklYne

      Thank for the info!

  15. Ive loked at a few references of jabba and have no idea how he walks. would you say like a snake? pushing as it bends. does it bend up and down like a bookwork or sideways?

      I think there needs to be more strength coming from his tail's movement. In other references it'd seem that's what pushes him forward and in your animation it looks a bit weaker.

      Towards the end of this clip is how they had Hutts propel themselves in the Clone Wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g956jfBm0VA

    4. ChalklYne

      ChalklYne

      Thats a really nice reference thank you! I think ill do it like that with a bit less side to side action. The scene right before that with zero is a great reference of upper body thanks again

  16. Does anyone here use zbrush?

    1. the_raven

      the_raven

      Just regular brush, thank you. Oh wait, you're not talking about Build Engine, are you?

    2. Psyk0Sith

      Psyk0Sith

      Sure i use Zbrush.

  17. Odd that Ive never seen a mario kart jedi style on here. Seems easy enough

      Star wars super bombad racing? <.<

    4. Psyk0Sith

      Psyk0Sith

      There was a speeder racing mod in the works a while back. It probably died. They scaled vehicles down so the maps would be race friendly.

  18. i like posts 7 years later

      I bet Bob_Bergen would love some of those likes...

      Low blow man. RIP bob

  19. Life took a downward spiral after LeftEye died, and it seems at rock bottom no one can hear you try. But this muffin is delicious so...

      Lol were you watching some kind of VH1 behind the music thingie? XD

    3. ChalklYne

      ChalklYne

      nope... shes just always on the mind. world started taking a shitter once she passed. if i had 3 wishes id bring lefteye back... make god host saturday night live... and control electrical things with my brain

    4. the_raven

      the_raven

      no idea who she was though

  20. I now know Coroutines were sent to destroy me.

  21. Have you ever thought about life like JKA and realized how many map_objects there are?

    1. Ramikad

      Ramikad

      I don't know. I think they disappear when I'm not looking at them, so I think they're really just NPCs with BS_REMOVE. If you think about it, it would explain paranormal powers: /control door, /npc kill monitor, and to make everything look weird, /npc showbounds.

    2. the_raven

      the_raven

      @Ramikad, if you look behind your back fast enough, you'll catch the world rendering itself.

      @ChalklYne I'm more concerned with how much the assets files weight

  22. Can you set different textures to different LOD versions of the model.

      afaik this is not supported.

    4. Rooxon

      Rooxon

      well technically speaking, it should be possible. Each LOD is a model on it's own after all, you'd just assign other (downsized?) textures to it... but not sure how efficient that would be.
